Hero Initiative

What is the Hero Initiative?

With all of these fans in one place, it's an opportunity to do some good. While we have a standing policy to provide admission for free, we do have purchasable items like early bird admission where we donate a portion of the proceeds to one of our favorite charities, The Hero Initiative. The Hero Initiative creates a financial safety net for comic creators who may need emergency medical aid, financial support for essentials of life, and an avenue back into paying work. Since inception, the Hero Initiative has been fortunate enough to benefit creators with more than $1 million worth of much-needed aid, fueled by your contributions! It’s a chance for all of us to give back something to the people who have given us so much enjoyment. If you want to learn more about this charity program, check out the web site - HeroInitiative.org So if you want to be a hero and support a worthy cause, consider purchasing an early bird VIP ticket. We are also willing to discuss other ways to support this cause. Just write to us via our Contact page or speak with one of our volunteers at the show.
